' neer, a subject of the German Emperor, and

' for thepurpose o of the invention,

resident of 6Marschallstrasse, Dusseldorf, Germany, useful Improvements in Guns with Long Recoil; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clean-and exact description such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

With guns adapted to be taken to pieces to obtain a long recoil of the barrel because the single parts must be limited inilength and weight.

My invention has for its object to avoid these diioulties in order. to obtain a long'l recoil of the barrel without inconveniently increasing the length and the weight of the single loads into which the gun is to be separated.

According to'my invention a plurality of slides is inserted between the barrel and the cradle of the gun and the return springs are telescoped. The brake .cylinder together with an upper slide carrying the barrel and a lower slide jointed to a tube inserted between the telescoped springs are positively connected with each other. By this combination .I obtain the advantage that the recoiling barrel is supported on a larger sur-v face and in consequence has a greater stability.

Inthe accompanyin shown by way of examp e my invention.

Figure 1 is aside elevation partly in section of the upper part of a gun showing'the parts in the position of rest. Fig. 2 is a cross section. Y Fig. 3 is` a side elevation similar to Fig. l but showing the parts at drawing have an embodiment of the end of the recoil ofthe barrel.

rlllie barrel a is formed as a separate part and the breech vforms together with the slide o another part of the gun. The barrel -a and the breech b are connected together in a well lmown manner by means of a bayonet joint. The slide c moves on a second slide d guided on the cradle e.

The spring g .surrounds this tube 1I which is connected wlth the slide l and also surrounds an inner sprmg k the latter resting with one end on an abutment Z connected to the slide d and with the other end on an abutment m fixed to the brake cylindern. The brake cylinder n is connected in a well known manner with the breech of the gun while the brake piston is fastened to the cradle as usually.
